Transradial access for cerebral angiography and neurointerventional procedures: A meta-analysis and systematic review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTransradial access (TRA) for diagnostic and interventional neurointerventional procedures has recently gained traction over transfemoral access (TFA) in the neurointerventional community. This meta-analysis aims to assess and summarize the utility of TRA in cerebral angiography and neurointerventional procedures.
methodsA systematic literature review was performed utilizing Pubmed, Embase, and Scopus databases. Using PRISMA guidelines, records were extracted with the following search terms: transradial approach, transradial access, radial access, cerebral angiogram, cerebral angiography, neurointervention, and neuroendovascular. The primary outcomes assessed were case success rate, complication rate, and crossover rate from TRA to TFA. Secondary analysis was performed on procedure time, fluoroscopy time, fluoroscopy time per vessel (diagnostic procedures only), contrast dose, radial artery diameter, distal radial artery diameter, and patient preference for TRA over TFA.
resultsSixty-two full-text articles were analyzed for this meta-analysis, representing 12,927 diagnostic and interventional TRA access patients. Our analysis revealed a combined diagnostic and interventional case success rate of 95.9% and complication rate of 3.5%, with crossover to TFA occurring in 4.9% of cases.
conclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrates that TRA access for diagnostic angiography and neurointerventional procedures is a safe and effective approach, though determining a true complication rate is challenging as the definition of TRA complications has changed in various publications over time.
